Don’t Be Scared

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Don’t be scared. I know who you are and what you are capable of. I have the plan and the means already taken care of! I am still strengthening you for big things – and GOOD things. So I say it again: don’t be scared. When I am with you and for you, all is on track for wellness. Focus on My mission for you today, which is just to take one thing at a time, – no more, no less. You can do it, partnered with Me all the way. I call you to the calm energy within which will drive and sustain you. That energy comes from My love, alive in you.

Connecting to Others

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You need not be shy today. Speak up and be bold. Don’t be afraid to share honestly and show your vulnerability. Connecting to others sometimes requires risk, but I am always your safety net, so don’t worry about what impression you are making. I’ll take care of that, impressing the hearts of others with what most needs to resonate. Your voice, lifted up for My Purposes, is lilting, uplifting, and lovely. I need you present, attentive, and exposed for the Good and benefit of all.

When the View Appears Bleak

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The road recently has felt arduous. No matter how difficult, though, I have walked it with you. Side by side, I am carrying the roughest and most grueling parts. I know it’s hard to feel joy when the days are dark and the view appears bleak. It’s not, though. All I can do is reassure you that hope is alive and well, and there is reason to believe that lighter days are in store for you and for those you love. Cling to Me today. Hold tight, and don’t give in to discouragement. You deserve happiness and will find it yet again.

Don’t Get Pulled Off Track Today

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

Each day people will do small deeds that are inconsiderate or unkind. Sometimes big injustices happen. Even so, I want you to release these irritations and frustrations into My care. Don’t allow your thoughts and emotions to run wild with ideas about how to tell others off or bring about justice on your own. This wastes important energy and will distract you from the peace and joy available within. Don’t get pulled off track today or be derailed by small injustices. Releasing things to My care doesn’t make you a “doormat”. It takes great strength of character to choose to walk away or to treat others with dignity and respect despite their behavior. My way is better. My way will free you and allow you to rise above any circumstance with great calm and internal respect. Pray for your enemies, even if this does not come easily. I will give you the grace, strength and wisdom in how to handle the situation if your heart is intent upon following My way.

I Appear in Mysterious Ways

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know My face. You’ve seen Me before a thousand times, but you don’t always recognize Me. I appear in mysterious ways, you know. Sometimes I am a stranger who greets you with joy. Sometimes I am close to you, as in a dear friend. I may appear as someone in need, but-  in fact, – it is YOU who is in need. Look for Me and you will find Me. Ask Me whatever it is that you need to ask. I am always listening, always present, always available. Listen to Me in return. I speak to you in many ways. Learn to recognize My face and voice. Trust yourself when you hear or catch a glimmer of what you think may be Me. I am closer than you think.

Hard to Get Going

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Some days are just plain hard to get going. I recognize that. No matter how much you feel weighed down, though, I am with you to help jump-start your day. I carry the heaviest burdens so you don’t have to strain yourself. Instead of taking on a “woe is me” attitude, picture Me smiling and saying, “I’ll take care of that.” Hand over your hardest or most mundane tasks to Me and move on to something else. See how this act of trust in Me improves your energy and shifts your focus. Before you know it, the day will have passed and things will have gotten done in satisfying ways. Partner with Me like this all day and see joy being renewed in your heart.

Saving Grace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Saving Grace: these are words to meditate on. My Grace saves. My Grace has enough supply to rescue you and those you care about from any of their troubles. Your job is not always to fix  problems. Consider this: your job may be to call upon My Grace, or to direct others to do so. In My Grace there is enough wisdom, stamina, and peace for all. Do you know My Grace? Have you sought it out lately? I love to give it freely; you merely have to step up to the plate and ask for it to be served. I am a generous God. People mistakenly think I am stingy when it comes to helping when they are in the middle of their troubles, but this is completely wrong. It is in times of trouble that My Grace pours out in gallons, washing over the whole scene and bathing those in need.

The Loving Response

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The world wants to fill the space in your head with accusations, criticisms, and complaints. These hurt your heart. I disdain evil, corruption, and hurtful things. Yet I always find a way to respond with love, forgiveness, and hope for a better future where my children also choose to love instead of cause or reciprocate hurt. If you are faced with a situation that wrestles with your head or heart, seek My voice guiding you to the most loving response. Even if you don’t agree with the person or situation, choose to treat them with dignity. You will find that peace reigns when you do this. I will bless you with that kind of distancing and peace. Rise above. Do good unto others. Seek My kingdom first, knowing that My Grace is sufficient to help you with all of these things.

Calm Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

My hand continues to be working in, before, and behind you, molding you to My design. Hear My voice offering calm reassurance. I AM WITH YOU…I am with you. Breathe in this truth, absorbing its healing power. You are never alone in anything you must face today and always. Today I ask you to not feel small. Instead of being anxious or worried, picture yourself as big, confident, and filled with My strength to accomplish all that is asked of you, one thing at a time. In a world of multi-tasking, doing one thing at a time is actually key to staying focused and calm. Remember that My hand is cupped around yours. Glance toward Me with each task we pick up to handle together. Celebrate our companionship as the day unfolds and eventually draws to completion. My joy is yours.

Further Than You Planned For

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am whispering to you. So often My lambs do not hear My voice but it is there, beckoning them to safer ground and providing affection, encouragement, and understanding. Sometimes that safer ground is higher ground, – one that calls you to make harder steps or pushes you further than you planned for, – but it is always worth the effort. The sights and peacefulness this higher ground brings is far more satisfying than the immediate, fleeting pleasures that tug at you and try to distract or misguide you along the way. My way is steady and sure. Take the high ground today at all costs. When the steps seem steep, challenging, or unsteady, I will take your elbow. I never let go of you. Join Me in the direction I prefer and have designed for you. Even when My lambs stray off the intended path, My hand is outstretched and waiting to guide them home.
